Another ham and I are researching making the extender cards for the
FT-101
extender cards. Once designed the information will be turned over to a
local club that we are affiliated with (http://www.skyviewradio.net/) for
a
possible Fund Raising project.

So I can get an idea for pre-ordering parts, finding out if this is
doable
and if it could actually benefit the club, who would be interested in
purchasing from Skyview, a set of FT-101 extender cards? Send me an
email
here or privately.

The profit from the sales of these boards would be plowed back into the
club. Also the profits would be used to used to promote Amateur radio
(i.e., JOTA, Kids Day, community publicity event funding, exam books,
Radio,
Electricity, Electronics Merit Badge training and subsequent Scout ham
exams). Or you could choose how your funds may be used (i.e, repeater
upgrade, Boy Scout training or community promotions).

It should take us about a month or so to get this completed and ready to
ship, I hope.

Thanks in advance for your reply to this forum or to my private email.

Don't you mean Noise Blanker? "Extender" is a Motorola trade name.


JB,
I was unaware of the this use of the word Extender.

I mean Service Extender Boards as in the ones needed to lift a board above
and out of a chassis for electrical testing. The boards in the FT-101 are
inserted into chassis mounted card edge connectors similarly to a modern
computer. So to test the board electrical characteristics and test points
one needs to have physical access enough to employ test probes.

Thanks for pointing this out.
